The Final: attacco a Wembley

Firstly i'm not a football fan, i stopped supporting football about 35 years ago when it became more about the money and politics rather than the so called beautiful game.

However i do have an interest in Football hooliganism ( call it macabre ) but my view is if someone was a true fan of football why would they become a raving loon involving 22 grown men kicking a piece of leather up and down a grass filed in there underwear.

What got me was the way the producers made the ' hooligans ' out to be the good guys and the security and Wembley staff out to be the bad guys, and the guy with the neck tattoo who claimed he did it because he's been climbing the walls at home through the Covid lockdown was about as thick as the interviewer who asked him the question.

Personally the so called football fans who were interviewed and seen causing damage should have been bought up on charges and banned from games.

I was under no illusions that this was going to be a frustrating watch. What happened on that day was a feeling of disappointment for the end result, coupled with anger, embarrassment and shame with off field antics. This documentary brought those feeling back again.

It covers the entire build up of the day of the final. It looks to understand what and how it happened, and allows some of those involved to give their personal stories and ridiculous justifications for what was, and still is, unacceptable anti-social behaviour.

As an England football fan, the rollercoaster of anger and shame while watching it all continued to unfold. In listening to the modern day Neanderthals think their actions were perfectly okay and just driven by passion and a release of frustration post lockdown was just alien to me.

It's reasonably well produced, but difficult if you're English with any sense of morality. It will be a constant reminder why people will be very nervous that England co-host the euros in 2028 or at least why the security is bound to be significant.

This documentary made me sick and things like this is why I can never support England even though I've lived here all my life.

The glorifying of England thugs in this made me sick yo my stomach, the filmmakers have no clue and should give up making this dirge for netflix money immediately.

Don't watch this if you're proud of being English. It will make you sick and we should never host another tournament ever again.

Why have finals this late in the day when everyone does nothing but drink all day. I am soooooioio glad England lost, Italy were the better team anyway. These fans broke in and robbed people of their rights to watch the game.

Whether one is a football fan, or not the behaviour portrayed in this documentary should shock you, it should make you ashamed to be English, it should make you ashamed to be a football fan. Instead by totally ignoring the consequences, by not asking the people interviewed pertinent questions regarding their behaviour what this doc ends up doing is normalising violent horrible behaviour.

See it is OK to drink too much and riot as long as football is involved, there is no morality just ignorance. This documentary confirms what many of us know already, that football is followed by a lot of ignorant men driven by the fear the will ose the respect of their peers if the don't behave like they do in this documentary.

View it as a warning.

The English Hooligans are well represented and how can they not be? This documentary clearly shows how the behavior is deeply entrenched in the young male England football fan. They have a well deserved bad reputation and this documentary only solidifies that fact. Every single citizen of the country or fan of the team should be thoroughly and completely embarrassed by what happened at Wembley on this day. It's so sickening that despite my previous support of the England club, I now hope they never, ever win any big tournament in the near future. The fans deserve many more decades of football misery for this.
